Jimmy Brickz

Hailing from Toronto’s gritty east end, JiMMY BRiCKZ first burst onto the scene with a love letter penned for his neighbourhood — as “Scarborough” quickly became a local hit garnering acclaim from critics and tastemakers including Complex, Noisey, and Exclaim. From there, he began to earn international attention, performing at festivals like SXSW and Mondo.NYC, as well as alongside artists like Travis Scott, Ab-Soul and Joey Bada$$. 
 In the midst of this rise, JiMMY had to hit pause. Years of personal tragedies began to add up — family members and friends lost to the streets he revered in his music. From this pain and struggle emerges The BRiCK Tape: the new EP capturing these moments in JiMMY’s life and community, telling the story of building oneself up brick by brick, slowly and carefully piecing together a life of which you can be proud. 
 Today, JiMMY is bringing the story of Scarborough to the world. And while his heart is never far from home, rest assured he’s got bigger places to go.
